I never said it is unlawful. The way u were talking it looked as though u were trying to say that programming is better than jst ‘eking’ a living from a site. Thats the reason i tried to correct u on that. And I think this time around u shud be getting ur understanding of others comments proporely? (no pun intended)

Seriously I am not against the Hydblogs site. Gud initiative from who ever it is.

Silverlight primarily addresses two scenarios – 1)Media intergration; 2) Rich Internet Applications. If you recall my Airlines demo, it had no video in it. Silverlight’s strength is in empowering the developers to write code in their favorite language. You can code in any language that includes JavaScript, C# or VB. We also support Ruby and Python in the form of IronRuby and IronPython implementations. More languages would be supported soon.

The Demo was nice but tell me whats the use of Silverlight on Indian average broadband speeds of 128-256 kbps? It will obviously take for a webpage to take hell lot of time to load if there are couple videos on the pages and if 3-4 seconds of preview has to load, Also i guess many new video sharing sites are already offering the same services @ video previews on mouse overs.

Hi Amit,
Thanks for sitting through my session . Yes, you can certainly find all the information that I gave from the Silverlight site. My intention was to show/demo the capabilities of Silverlight that you may not find easily on the websites. I wanted to keep it fast paced while covering the key scenarios that Silverlight addresses. I avoided using the PowerPoint presentation because I didn’t want to bore my audience with data/gyan

@Siva

1. hydblog.in was a functional site with a definite purpose for the camp – to compile a list of hyderabad bloggers. and you are more than welcome to run a site which is gazillion times more user friendly, better branding and ui wise – and greater if you can share the data for us all to use. as i said, we can surely use more help from outside our small group of planners.

hmmm… which site are we talking about here? my wordpress blog? since when was it unlawful for non-designers have a blog for themselves? i do basic programmer design but nowhere in the world do i fool myself into thinking im anywhere near a designer who will be paid money to do so

KoPoS:
No one is really interested whether u guys are programmers or decoders. If urs is out of love and passion so are the other guys who are there. You don’t design sites but u still have a site for ur self. Interesting

@Amit wrt Namrata’s comment:
When it was already posted in the wiki that the sessions were primarily on OpenSource, Tech & Product Demos, what were you expecting to listen to – A Full Day Camp on SEO???

Good grief, why dont you get your expectations right first?

Dude,

Of course many already complained that the AC wasnt working in that room. Had you posted your comment/complained to any of the Google/organizers there or used the whiteboard to post your gripes?

That was definitely below the belt.

About your comment on HydBlogs.in:
Of course it was a 12 hour old site and definitely version 0.1. We are fulltime entrepreneurs and eking out our living working on code, not designing fancy scmanzy websites. Our only point with the site was to compile the list of all the people who attended the camp. And yes we are looking for anyone who can add more value.

Would love it if you can share your technology-branding-design with us. Or host it online so that we can all migrate our data to your site. No issues, ours is just a work of love & passion.
